Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the utility model, a retractable and adjustable casting size gauge inspection tool includes four outer tubes 1 arranged in a square frame structure. Each of the four outer tubes 1 is provided with a telescopic structure 2, and the ends of the telescopic structures 2 in adjacent outer tubes 1 are fixedly connected with corner tubes 3.

[0022] The outer tube 1 is a rectangular tubular structure. A telescopic structure 2 is installed inside the outer tube 1. The telescopic structure 2 includes a gear 21, a rotating shaft 22, a first knob 23, and toothed plates 24. The rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected inside the gear 21. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the center of the outer tube 1 via bearings. The upper end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the outer tube 1 and is fixedly connected to the first knob 23. Toothed plates 24 are provided on both sides of the gear 21 along diagonal directions, and the toothed plates 24 mesh with the gear 21. By rotating the first knob 23, the gear 21 is driven to rotate, and the gear 21 drives the toothed plates 24 to move linearly along the length of the outer tube 1, thereby allowing the toothed plates 24 to extend and retract within the outer tube 1, achieving adjustment of the length and width dimensions.

[0023] To prevent the toothed plate 24 from detaching from the outer tube 1 during extension, limiting bosses 25 are fixedly connected to the inner walls at both ends of the outer tube 1, and limiting blocks 26 are fixedly connected to the toothed plate 24. The limiting bosses 25 and the limiting blocks 26 cooperate to limit the range of motion of the toothed plate 24, ensuring the stability and safety of the toothed plate 24 during extension and retraction.

[0024] To ensure the stability of the inspection tool after adjustment, a friction groove 27 is provided along the length of the upper surface of the toothed plate 24. The cross-section of the friction groove 27 is V-shaped. Threaded holes 28 are provided at opposite positions on both ends of the top surface of the outer tube 1. Fastening bolts 29 are connected to the internal threads of the threaded holes 28. A second knob 291 is provided at the upper end of the fastening bolt 29, and a friction part 292 is provided at the lower end. The friction part 292 is a V-shaped structure adapted to the friction groove 27. The surfaces of both the friction groove 27 and the friction part 292 are provided with anti-slip textures.

[0025] To facilitate more convenient and precise size adjustment, a scale mark 210 is provided on the first knob 23, and a first scale line 211 is provided at the corresponding position on the outer tube 1. By observing the correspondence between the scale mark 210 on the first knob 23 and the first scale line 211 on the outer tube 1, the adjusted size of the telescopic structure 2 can be accurately determined, facilitating quick and accurate reading of dimensional data. A second scale line 212 is provided on the toothed plate 24. When the toothed plate 24 is extended, the size of the inspection tool can be clearly read through the second scale line 212, achieving dual calibration and more intuitively and accurately determining the size of the inspection tool.

[0026] To ensure more stable movement of the toothed plate 24 in the telescopic structure 2, a guide groove 213 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom surface of the outer tube 1. The guide groove 213 is dovetail-shaped, and a guide rail 214 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the toothed plate 24. The guide rail 214 is also dovetail-shaped and matches the guide groove 213, and the guide rail 214 is slidably connected to the guide groove 213. By cooperating with the dovetail-shaped guide groove 213 and the guide rail 214, the wobbling of the toothed plate 24 is restricted, ensuring that it moves in a precise straight line along the length of the outer tube 1 and avoiding dimensional errors caused by offset.

[0027] To facilitate the rotation of the first knob 23 and the second knob 291, anti-slip textures are provided around the first knob 23 and the second knob 291. By increasing friction, the risk of slippage is reduced, and the convenience and reliability of operation are improved.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, based on the theoretical dimensions of the casting to be inspected, observe the scale mark 210 on the first knob 23 and the first scale line 211 on the outer tube 1. By rotating the first knob 23, the gear 21 is driven to rotate, which drives the toothed plate 24 to extend or retract along the length of the outer tube 1, thus initially setting the length and width dimensions of the inspection tool. If further precise adjustment is required, fine-tuning can be performed using the second scale line 212 on the toothed plate 24. After confirming that the dimensions are correct, tighten the second knob 291 at the upper end of the fastening bolt 29, so that the V-shaped friction part 292 at the lower end of the fastening bolt 29 is tightly engaged with the V-shaped friction groove 27 on the toothed plate 24. Utilizing the friction generated by the anti-slip texture, the toothed plate 24 is fixed inside the outer tube 1, ensuring the stability of the inspection tool's dimensions. After that, the casting can be inspected.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
